Beshear is to join with First Lady Britainy Beshear, Cabinet for Economic Development Secretary Jeff Noel and Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. The group will discuss other existing Kentucky employers and international businesses considering to form connection with the United States. The officials will also meet with the National Police Agency of the Republic of Korea to sign a Driver’s License Reciprocity Agreement. It will allow for employees relocating to America to have accessible transportation to and from work.
This trip comes after Beshear announced his initiative, “Supply Kentucky,” focusing on job development, reducing costs, and giving more security in Kentucky companies’ supply chains.
A media release announcing the trip states the Beshear Administration is building “on the best four-year period for economic growth in state history.”
